Muppination Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best guess in breaking down a purple color stoned Lightsaber and hope you get it , or purple color quest gems you find for the better vers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelas Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Best guess in breaking down a purple color stoned Lightsaber and hope you get it , or purple color quest gems you find for the better vers If you have a purple colour stoned lightsaber cant you just remove the purple colour stone by paying a few credits? Im sure you could do that in beta. Edited December 16, 2011 by Skelas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGeist Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 From what i've seen, any armor or weapon that comes loaded with mods (or stones) have them locked into the item. You can only replace them and destroy them, removal is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GawdoOo Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Doesn't look like you can anymore. I've been trying to get my hands on an orange crystal, but haven't found any guns, or sabers that you can remove the crystals from, other then the Legendary ones you can buy with commendations, so, that may be the best bet, go blow your commendation badges on sabers with purple/orange, and hope you can learn them that way.

You can only replace them and destroy them, removal is not possible. That'd be a pretty drastic change from beta, where you could remove anything you wanted to. To be honest I don't know why they would've changed that. I'm sad if they did Edited December 16, 2011 by SinTion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgerJedi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 the purple crystal recipe also requires a purple mat. I've been sending my crew out on mission after mission, but they've not come back ever with a purple "drop" and now my skill is too high so unless someone knows another way, I've lost the opportunity to use this recipe while I'm at a suitable level.

You can only replace them and destroy them, removal is not possible. Hahaha I can still remove mods from my quest item reward items. You need to relearn mod removal. BTW Dodger Purp crafting items are from Mission crew skills on a crit. If skill lvl gone to high just go to the level selection box top of mission list and change it to the lower mission bracket. IE From16-20 to 10-15 (or what ever it is I had the same problem on my crafter crafting slow) Edited December 16, 2011 by Kotli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure whether doing so caused the thing to bind to me however. Was just a random drop, but but discovered it was bound when I tried to auction the blighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zivenox Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You can only remove mods from mod-able items, they would appear orange in your inventory. As for the purple crystal all I know is that the columni(sp) gear has it, but that is at level 50. I am hoping that before then they will be available... so far have not come across one.

GKGK Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you have a purple colour stoned lightsaber cant you just remove the purple colour stone by paying a few credits? Im sure you could do that in beta. All items with purple crystals were taken off of vendors - but yes, you can pull them out of items and then put them into your light saber. I would also like to point out that quests that used to reward purple crystals - no longer do so; the databases are woefully out of date with data they got from early beta builds.

Zikah Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Wonder where all the anti-purple for low levels came from all the sudden. Not sure why it's in a different position from orange. Edited December 19, 2011 by Zikah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
